My sister ran a successful small business for many years, and managed to eke out a living of about $50k/year as the Owner, and employer of 7 people.

She was audited by the IRS TWICE - taking more than half a year each time - and what they found in the end? They owed her $5k for overpayment.

Meanwhile, during the same mid-2000's timeframe, Madoff, Trump, Alex Jones, and the whole passel of Republican oligarchs from John Boehner to Newt Gingrich down, enjoyed total immunity from the IRS and their shenanigans.

Biden's push for closer examination of tax filings - now, in the past, and in the future - is the one thing that can help pay for absolutely everything in the left's agenda... which will benefit literally the ENTIRE WORLD - not just the left - and put the money in the coffers to do good work in America. Not just live like scavengers off the infrastructure built by "the greatest generation". Psh.
